IMPROVEMENT IN HANDLES FOR BURlAL-CASES.

'10 all whom it mayconcern: Be it known that I, WILLIAM S. W001), of Newtown, Queens county, New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Handles for Burial-Cases, of which the following is a specification:

- The invention will" first be fully described, and then pointed out in the claims.

Figure 1 is a top view of one end of the lid of a burial-case; Fig. 2, a vertical section of one of the handles.

A is the lid, and B the rivet-fastened handle. The latter is attached to rounded or angled corners'of the lid, so that there will be two handles at each end, and so that thus the lid can readily be lifted and adjusted by two persons. The operation is thus greatly facilitated,

and a decided advantage obtained.

Having thus described all that is necessary to a full understanding" of myinvention, What I claim is A burial-case lid, provided with handles B,

one arranged on each of the curved or angled corners, as and for the purpose described.

WILLIAM S. WOOD.
